Field Application Engineer - Flexible Printed Circuits

Your Job

Molex brings together innovation and technology to deliver electronic solutions to customers worldwide.

With a presence in more than 40 countries, Molex offers a full suite of solutions and services for many markets, including data communications, consumer electronics, industrial, automotive, commercial vehicle and medical.

With today's devices trending toward smaller form factors and miniaturization, traditional printed circuit boards (PCBs) can be too rigid to accommodate evolving designs.

As a leading supplier of versatile printed circuit solutions, Molex empowers customers with innovations that are small, light, and extremely adaptable.

Our extensive offerings reflect a wide range of specialized substrates and technologies that help deliver excellent signal integrity, impedance control and thermal management-including PEDOT polymer, flexible silver and more.

We are seeking a Field Application Engineer for our Printed Circuit Solutions (PCS) group.

In this role you will develop solutions to solve customers' Flexible Printed Circuit design needs.

You'll provide technical guidance to customers and internal engineering teams on optimal materials, stackups, traces (spacing, width, routing), and other design requirements.

Some global responsibilities include leveraging knowledge of Molex Taiwan capabilities to drive solutions that are optimal for manufacturing.

This position may be remote.
